Custer's Revenge/YMMV

• Alternate Character Interpretation: George Custer was in Real Life a serious, well-rounded general who fought hard. This game portrays him as a maniacal rapist who's crazy enough to get killed just as long as he can rape an Indian.
• Contemptible Cover: Would you go in public showing a copy of Custer's Revenge?
• Fetish Retardant: Who the hell got off from this game?
• Freud Was Right: Yep, even General Custer needs some love.
• Historical Hero Upgrade/Historical Villain Upgrade/Historical Villain Downgrade: Of course, it's hard to think of Custer as a hero if he has that kind of behavior with a native.
• Misblamed: Feminist and Native American groups protested Atari instead of Mystique. Atari had nothing to do with the game, and wouldn't have allowed it anyway. At the time, console game manufacturers didn't require licensing and the 2600 had no Copy Protection mechanism. Also, the concept of third-party games was very new.
• No Such Thing as Bad Publicity
  • It sure didn't save Mystique from bankruptcy.
• Unfortunate Implications
  • To make matters worse, the game was also marketed under the title Westward Ho.
• What Do You Mean It's Not for Kids?: Back when everyone thought of gamers as strictly being teenagers in arcades, the fact that such a game existed was quite a shock.
